What a fascinating story with great characters, interactions, legend, and history. I loved the town of Eagle Canyon and how they limit too much of the outside world with smartphones, etc. I love the legend behind the two men claiming one woman. The chemistry between twin brothers, Luke and Aiden, with Cassie is sweet, spicy and sizzles off the pages.
Widow, Cassie Gray is on a journey to do the one final thing she promised her late husband Bret she would do for him. The love of her life, to learn he had a terminal illness and watched it take him away was devastating, but it has been two years since his death, and she needs to start moving forward again. Coming along a highway with no cell service, no GPS, spotting an eagle takes her breath away, but not paying attention she will go into the oncoming lane and nearly hit a truck, then she overcorrects and is in a ditch. Luke Carson also saw the eagle and almost didn’t see Cassie. When he gets to her car, he is struck by a feeling that she is the one for him—but not just him, the one he will share with his twin, Aidan.
“When I was a child, my grandfather had told me about eagles. He said they are a symbol that your life is about to change. That you need to be like an eagle—brave and true to yourself, ready to take on challenges head first—in order to soar in life. Suddenly, I felt better, optimistic. An eagle sighting always did that to me.”
Luke will take Cassie into town, get them to tow her car and help her get settled into a motel. He also insists on taking her to Aidan to have her ankle checked, but also for Aiden to meet their princess. Will he also feel the arrow crash into his heart like legend foretold?
“The Great Spirit brought her to you, Luke,” she corrected. “You had the wisdom to listen to your heart,” she added with a smile.” –Princess Karen, their mother
“In our community,” Aidan added, not taking his eyes from the road, “woman are cherished. Properly protecting and caring for a woman is so important that not just one man can do it. There is nothing wrong with allowing others to take care of you, Cassie. In Eagle Canyon, men value their women and want nothing more than to care for them and provide for their needs. All their needs.”
“I’ll admit, I had been skeptical when Luke had brought her to my office that afternoon. But when I felt the arrow of love to my heart and saw the hummingbird tattoo, it seemed pretty clear she was the one.”
The story will include desire, passion, chemistry, and a night at the house shared by Luke and Aidan with Cassie. They made her feel cherished and desired and gave her so much pleasure. But can she walk away after only one night? Will Luke and Aidan let her leave them? Can a talk with their mother change her path and give her confidence for a new life with two men to love her? The story has explicit sex including ménage scenes.
“You future is staring you in the face. You need to go for it.”
This is my first Celeste Jones book with a paranormal twist. And I really enjoyed it.
Cassie is still trying to get over her husband's death after two years. When she finally realizes that if she doesn't change something and fast she will die an old cat lady like person.
Luke and Aiden are twin brothers that have been looking for their mate. They are both in their thirties and are princes in need of a princess. Who would not want to be their mate? While that would be Cassie.
While these three get to know each other you get a real sense of the relationship building up. I enjoyed that. I mean the book is not really long. But for how the book is built you don't feel like you are losing anything.
Hot, quick read that leaves you wanting more! It's a standalone novel that is the first in a series. I've never read anything by this author and this was a great introduction to her books. We follow a widow on a path to re-discovering herself on a journey with a hidden agenda. She stumbles into Eagle Canyon and is immersed in a new setting and a way to heal.
This is a fascinating tale of a little place called Eagle Canyon that is rich in Native American history and legend. It limits outside influence with no public wifi...And all the couples are twin brothers with a female spouse. This is a story of Cassie finding a new normal, a new path, and new love. I enjoyed the rich history of the town and idea of limiting smartphone use, though I'm hesitant to know if it'd work.
I loved Cassie. She's a heartbroken young widow, trying to finish a task, and figure out her life. She's ready for new adventures, but keeps her past to herself. Not quite shy, but reserved and cautious. Stumbling into town, she encounters dark and handsome Luke. He's a stoic man of action and feels the sizzle right away. His twin Aiden is the town doctor, the light and more worldly version. He too feels the pull of the town's special historical magic on their trio.
The three have chemistry and pheromones in abundance. They can't keep their hands off each other! Who could blame Cassie when Aiden and Luke are described in such exotic and imaginative ways! Handsome doesn't even begin to scratch their surface. They fall into their relationship quickly and with so many sparks. I don't love that type of relationship, but despite that fastness, it seems to work for Eagle Canyon.
Claimed is a super fast read that draws you in to amazing characters, a setting with rich history, and well written love scenes. I liked the easy to follow plot, which did have the slight mystery of why Cassie was traveling in that area. But even the town had great depth and served a special purpose for the story. And despite quite a few differences from the “real” world, the world of Eagle Canyon works well and gives a happy ending.
Anyone in need of quick read that will get their libido going, this is the book you need! But it's more than that...the well written characters leave you wanting more and very interested in what books come next in the series.
“My brain and libido could not process that much testosterone in a confined space.” “If there was any good news in all of this, I had at least found out my sex drive had moved out of neutral. Frankly, I'd thought it might even have been in reverse for the last few years.” “...it was hard to believe that on a regular old Wednesday my brother would randomly find the woman who was destined to be ours.” “Tonight, just for this one night, I was going to live out every fantasy I'd ever had and probably a few I hadn't thought of yet.”
Claimed is the first book in the Eagle Canyon Ménage series. Cassie has been widowed for the past two years and she finally feels the urge to move on. On a road trip of self discovery, she crashes her car, but luckily handsome Luke is there to drive her into town. Coming from a different culture, Luke and his twin brother are looking for their mate, the one they feel an instant connection to, like an arrow to the heart. Luke feels that with Cassie, as does his brother Aidan, but while their connection allows her a passionate night together, can Luke and Aidan convince Cassie to stay with them forever?
Wow, for a shorter story, this really packs a punch! I loved reading this book! There was a new culture to experience, two amazingly delicious men who only want to love, care for, and protect their woman, and sweet Cassie who is just trying to figure out who she is besides being a widow. Aidan and Luke were so fun because they were almost tripping over each other to try to please Cassie. Their passion was hot, hot, hot and I loved their steamy scenes together just as much as their getting to know each other scenes. I was completely fascinated and drawn into the culture of Eagle Canyon, but would have loved some more information about some of the royalty aspects. I have already fallen in love with Eagle Canyon, as I absolutely enjoyed this book, and can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
Fate Works in Mysterious Ways - Luke never expected that his altruistic decision to help a stranded young woman would lead to find his Princess. Even though Cassie was still grieving the loss of her husband when she met Luke, she felt an attraction like she had never experienced and meeting his twin brother Aidan, intensified her attraction to an unimaginable level. Cassie decided to enjoy one night on unimaginable pleasures with the twin, but she learned information about herself and her connection to the twins the next day, that really shook her to the core.
Fortunately, Luke and Aidan were able to coax Cassie when she became overwhelmed and ultimately convinced her to give them a chance at having a future together filled with love and happiness. This was a really bewitching story, with delightful characters and spicy intimate moments, that will keep you totally engrossed from the beginning until the end. This is the first book that I have read from this author, but it definitely won’t be the last.
I received a copy of this book free and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
Wow this was a super hot quick read! I loved every minute of this steamy read! I was hooked from the very first sentence and it wouldn't let me go. I found myself in love with the twins and their protectiveness towards Cassie. I think I feel in love with Aiden and Luke when they was in the Luke's office checking on her ankle. I loved the Prince and Princess point of this story. I have never read a story like this one. Cassie has been married before and lost her husband 2 years prier! Aiden and Luke are looking for the love of their life. I honestly cannot wait to read more from this author and more of this series. This is a must read if you like Ménage.
Book 1 in this series & I really enjoyed it. I loved the characters - they are a fantastic combination of sexy, flirty and insecure all at the same time. The background story of the history behind the menage is quite different, which made this story stand out for me. However, I would have liked the book to be longer. It was a short, quick read & was admittedly very hot, but I would have really liked more depth to the story. I found it tended to skate over a few things that could have benefited from a bit more detail, giving the story a somewhat simplistic feel to it.
This was a very interesting story. I enjoyed the concept of two men and one woman and can believe it is possible. Who wouldn't want to be cherished and loved by two beautiful men.
The story is sweet, sexy, and sensual. Luke and Aiden are really great men and Cassie was one lucky lady. Highly entertaining read.
Well written enjoyable story. Her husband died and she is looking to start over. Thanks to something unexpected she meets hot twin brothers. Is this her new life? I recommend it. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
I just loved reading this and could not stop until I had read the whole story. Twin brothers were the icing on the cake and both so different from each other but both so perfect for Cassie. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
I received an ARC of this book and will be going back for more from this author.
Cassie is on an advert to be a new person. But, when she gets a flat in Eagle Canyon, her life will never be the same! She gets saved by Luke and Adien. That’s when things get really good.!loved this quick read!!
Fast read, Cassie is on an mission of bring her husbands ashes to the place he wanted to be released. As a widow Cassie had trouble finding herself…in this beautiful canyon she finds herself and her mates…
A truly sweet story. These characters really settle into your heart. I liked the community that the author created. It is unique and creative. This is a story that you don’t want to miss.
Luke, Cassie and Aidan’s story is a laugh-out-loud / feel-good story that is super sweet and very emotional ... not to forget steamy. I just wish it were a full-length story.
A short romantic comedy with a twist. I like the story line but think there could be more, a little more magic and more sex. Dirty talking alpha males are hot!
